The CD-ROM and System Requirements

[Previous] [Next]

The companion CD contains the source code and executable files for all the sample applications presented in the book. All sample applications were written and compiled with Microsoft Visual C++ 6.0 and the Windows 2000 Platform SDK. Most of the sample applications require features that exist only in Windows 2000; no attempt has been made to build or test the applications on any other version of Windows.

In the root directory of the companion CD you will find the Microsoft Visual Studio workspace file ("Programming Server-Side Apps.dsw") and the common header file ("CmnHdr.h"). Under the root directory is a separate directory for each sample application. The x86 directory contains the debug versions of all the sample applications so that you can run them directly from the companion CD.

When you insert the companion CD into the drive, the welcome screen will present itself automatically. If the screen does not appear, go to the drive's Setup directory and execute the StartCD.exe application.
